The fall season brings an abundance of new flavors and ingredients to the markets. This easy roasted butter nut squash recipe requires just a few ingredients and can be prepped in advance. Serve it as a lunchtime snack or side dish at dinner.

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place squash halves cut side up on a rimmed baking sheet and season with salt and pepper.

In a small pan warm cream and chopped thyme, divide among halves.

Bake until squash is tender when pierced with the tip of a sharp knife, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from oven and cut into wedges. Sprinkle each wedge with Parmesan, top with thyme sprig and bake until cheese is melted and golden, 10 to 15 minutes more.

Sprinkle pumpkin seeds on top and serve warm.

This sounds terrific! I love that it seems fairly effortless, but has a Wow factor to it. Perfect for Sunday afternoon cooking –Christy @ Confessions of a Culinary Diva recently posted…#SundaySupper – Bourbon Pumpkin Pie in a Glass

Oooohh I love that you used cream and Parmesan on the baked squash! Fabulous! Thyme is so good as well – I feel it’s really underappreciated as an herb – whether dried or fresh. Thanks for the recipe!mimi recently posted…Summer Cup
